Background
History
The Achanalt railway station was opened by the Dingwall and Skye Railway, but operated from the outset by the Highland Railway. Taken into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, the line then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. When Sectorisation was introduced, the station became part of ScotRail until the Privatisation of British Rail. The Achanalt Power Station, commissioned in 1957 by James Shearer, lies less than 1 mi southwest of the Grudie Bridge Power Station.
